During consideration for the Homeland Security Appropriations bill (H.R. 5441) Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) proposed an amendment to increase funding for police, firefighters, and other local and state personnel by $16.5 billion. A point of order was raised against Dodd’s amendment based on the Budget Act, and the Senate effectively killed the amendment when it rejected the motion to wave the Budget Act.  In our opinion federal funding of local law enforcement will lead to more federal control of law enforcement.
